IMPROVEMENT IN SHAVING-IVIUGS.l

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. I07A50. dated September20, 1870.

To all whom, t may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRANK B. CLooK, of Bostonof the county of Suffolkand State of .Massachusetts, have invented an Improved ShavingMug; and Ido hereby declare the same to be. fully described in the followingspeciiication and represented in the accompanying drawings, ofwhieh-Figure l is a top view; Fig. 2, a side elevation, Fig. 3, a vertical andlongitudinal section of one of my improved mugs.

This mug is of the kind in which there isv combined with itswater-receiver a soap-receptacle.

In carrying out my invention in the form as exhibited in the drawings Ihave combined with thewater and soap receptacles an inclined nose orspout-that is, one which stands at an acute angle or inclined to theaxis of the water-receptacle. I have also formed the soapreceptacle withone or more holes or slits, to allow water to flow from the saine eitherinto the nose or directly into the water-receptacle,

of its receptacle; but with my improved mug such is not the case, aswill be readily observed from its conformation, in consequence of thearrangement of the two receptacles and the application to them of theinclined nose or spout.

In the drawings, A denotes the Water holder or body of the mug, and Bthe soap-receptacle, the latter beingdisposed directly over the former,or with the vertical axis of the two in one straight line. The inclinedspout or nose is shown at C as opening out of the part A, and arrangedagainst the side of the part B and below the top of thelatter. Thedraining holes or passages are represented at a, a a as leading throughthe side of the soap-receptacle and opening into the spout. Ifpreferable, the draining hole or holes may be made through the bottom ofthe soap-receptacle. The handle is exhibited at D. It may be arranged asrepresented, or in any other proper manner.

I do not claim a shaving-mug provided with a soap-receptacle, such beingvery old, it having been in common use or made and used nearly, if notmore than, twenty years.

I claim- The shaving-mug made with the water-reservoir, thesoap-receptacle, the inclined spout or nose, and one or moredraining-passages, to lead either through the side or the bottoni of thesoap-receptacle, as and for the purpose specified.
